MYTH BUSTED: Owning an #EV will NOT leave your wallet feeling light! ⚡💼 Fact: As we adapt to the current economic landscape, it's beneficial to carefully consider the true financial dynamics of owning an Electric Vehicle (EV), compared to an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.

💡 Fuel Cost Advantages: Even amidst fluctuating market conditions, utilising an electric car proves to be a wallet-friendly option, and will be while fuel prices are above £1 per litre - and realistically, we aren't anticipating a decrease below that level in the near future!
🔧 Maintenance Savings: EVs are indeed a blessing for your budget, with far fewer moving parts compared to ICE vehicles, resulting in considerably lower maintenance costs. To give you a clearer picture, annual tax and maintenance costs are projected to be around 49% lower than those for ICE counterparts.
🌏 Exemptions and Incentives: Embarking on the journey of EV ownership brings along a host of benefits, including exemptions from charges in London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), functioning around the clock. This initiative, coupled with clean air zones in cities like Bath and Birmingham, showcases EVs as a favoured option.
💰 Moreover, EV enthusiasts can enjoy exemptions from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) until April 2025, alongside attractive incentives for company car drivers, including low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rates.
